Curriculum I am an Assistant Professor in Dept of Community Health at St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore, India, with over seven years of experience in occupational and public health. I hold an MD and DNB in Community Medicine and was a Fogarty NIH GloCal Health Fellow (2023–24). My work focuses on occupational health, mental health, and workplace well-being, particularly among industrial and migrant worker populations. I have led several large-scale industry-linked projects, including the SAKHI Menstrual Rights and Apple Health initiatives, promoting reproductive and mental health across factories in India. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and presented my work at national and international conferences, including ICOH and EPICOH. I also serve as an Infection Control Officer in my hospital and am an active member of professional bodies such as the International Commission on Occupational Health and IAOH. My work emphasizes preventive health, implementation science, and strengthening workplace health systems.
